A propos de cet article

1st Printing. Signed. 182 pages. Published in 2000. The author's debut collection of essays. One of Andre Aciman's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. The DJ design is dazzling, featuring an evocative and apt reproduction of Andre Kertesz's celebrated photograph, "Martinique, January 1, 1972". Presents Andre Aciman's "False Papers: Essays On Exile And Memory". Award-winning, Proustian reminiscences and reflections on the poignant and problematic experience of loss. "Ponders the nature of memory in a series of linked essays in which he not only remembers the past and revisits former haunts, but remembers past remembrances and past revisits. What he's after is not so much the contrast between today's Alexandria and that of his boyhood, when he was a member of a rapidly dwindling Jewish population in the 1960's, or affirmation of his memories of his family's exile in Rome and Paris, but rather a dissection of nostalgia. Happily, this potentially abstract interpretation of the nexus between feeling and experience, place and identity, takes the form of piquant and confidently ambiguous travel stories. Along the way, Aciman muses on his love of the sea, his mixed emotions upon finding his grandfather's long-unvisited grave, the mnemonic allure of an abandoned New York subway station, and his amazement at the ambient hostility in Bethlehem, where, as in so many contested lands, 'memory, like spite, is bottomless' " (Diana Seaman). An absolute "must-have" title for Andre Aciman collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in blue fountain pen on the half-title page by Andre Aciman. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Andre Aciman's "Call Me By Your Name" is regarded as a classic by Colm Toibin. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy.
